This coming Wednesday, I will publish the 150th installment of the Morning Update. I started it on September 18th, 2025, on a whim, and a strong personal and professional need to 1) get better at doing off-the-cuff video shots, and 2) to increase our presence in the space. I opened with, ” Don’t get used ... Read more

Go to any social media platform these days (Maybe not Bluesky. I’m not on it so don’t know, but this could explain quite a bit.) and you will see some version of a video of New York governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) mocking her wealthy, tax-averse constituents with the 2022 taunt, “Jump on a bus and ...

I was in front of the laptop at 1:30 this morning, trying desperately to make some sense out of all the thoughts racing through my head. I was not succeeding. I was debating with myself, and losing terribly, about the purpose of government in my life and whether it has helped me or held me ... Read more

What Is Nashua Hiding? — The “Unsettling” Hunt for Settlements New Hampshire’s Right-to-Know Law has a provision most people don’t know exists, and one New Hampshire city is apparently counting on that. RSA 91-A:4 VI is short, clear, and unambiguous. Every settlement agreement involving a lawsuit, a threatened lawsuit, or any other claim against a ... Read more

Thanks to AI and people with nothing better to do, it has become virtually impossible to believe anything you see on the internet. I don’t think that’s a bad thing. The response to COVID led tens of millions of people to adopt a healthy distrust of experts and the politicians (few of whom are good ... Read more

What we see taking place today is a more public version of an ongoing effort by a president who isn’t politically connected and doesn’t care to be.  These “airings” reveal, to our benefit, a well-organized agenda to subvert America into the globalist/communist empire, not by choice but of necessity. What continues to be overlooked is ... Read more

This week, on NE TAKE, A.

When RFKJ fired the entire ACIP panel, all 17 so-called independent “experts,” the Left lost its mind. When RFKJ replaced them with different experts (the wrong kind), the hive mind didn’t like that either; they lost some more (what little they had to spare), found some lawyers, sued, and got a judge to say RFKJ ...

Recent ‘No Kings’ Rallies across New Hampshire and the nation were well represented – and well-funded – by the Democratic Socialist apparatus.  While organizers claim a “grassroots” origin, these protests are backed to a $3 billion network of far-left activist groups.  This includes Indivisible, an organization linked to socialist billionaire George Soros, the lead coordinator ...

This is rich, very, very, rich. The Party and the people who have held Four-Letter Vigils, excoriating President Donald Trump and telling him what he could do to himself as he is walking out the door, are now offended when that same President uses the identical fourth-grade, locker-room vocabulary on the greatest terrorists in the ...

With more and more dirt and bad press on Tim McGough coming to light as the June filing time approaches, we all know that Queen Sharon, Jeb, and PK are scrambling for someone to primary him.  Why not convince (currently Rep) Gary Daniels to take one for the team?

Stolen Rights over Public Education Without consent, government has no legitimacy. In 1968, our fundamental rights over public education were stolen by an amendment to the NH Constitution. Usually, amendments enshrine or expand our rights. It’s very unusual to remove fundamental rights from a state constitution, let alone do it by stealth. In an effort ... Read more
